STATE pension claimers may be excited to hear that the amount they get per week could be about to increase. So, now that 2019 is getting underway, just when does the rise in payments come into effect?

The state pension is something that many people claim, once they have reached their state pension age. This fund differs from a private pension, for instance, in that the former is provided by the Government. If you’re eligible, you could expect to receive a sum of money, which could be of great help during your retirement. Inflation means that as the years go on, the amount of money that a person has to live on won’t typically stretch as far as it previously did.
